Celebrated chefs mentor amateur cooks in an attempt to transform them from rookies to kitchen experts. Twelve to 16 contestants (referred to as "recruits") with very poor cooking skills are put through a culinary boot camp to earn a cash prize of $25,000 and a Food Network cooking set. The recruits are trained on the various basic cooking techniques, including baking, knife skills, temperature, seasoning and preparation. The final challenge is to cook a restaurant-quality, three-course meal for three food critics.

Cynde G OMG.... Worst cooks has become the worst show on food network! Is the reason they so unceremoniously dumped our beloved Anne Burrell because she no longer wanted to have any part of the joke this show has become? They desperately must go back to the shows original premise, find real people to put on the show, who wants to give these freaks 25,000 ? Not me! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Sandra H The contestants were taught to cook not act like their cooking. Way too over the top. I guess they are looking for 20 something viewers that just want camp acting and no cooking. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
